Abstract

This paper presents a description of haptic technology and its applicability to free-form design prototyping. In particular we report on the results of an international EU/IMS research project to develop an interactive Immersive Design Application (IDA) using Virtual Reality and Haptics immersion technologies. The application uses a virtual sculpting metaphor to interactively define arbitrary formed shapes as they are used in the domain of industrial design prototyping. The paper concludes with the presentation of the results of an IDA prototype usability evaluation through a team of design experts.
